This isn't Kanye West's first foray into large-scale architectural projects. In 2020, he had proposed the construction of his own city in Wyoming, known as YZY CITY, designed as a "hyper-utilitarian" underground community capable of accommodating 200 people, emphasizing a closed loop of self-sustainable living. However, those plans were halted by the state.

In the previous year, West had also filed trademark applications indicating his intent to establish a mini-community called the "Yecosystem." Sources close to the rapper revealed that the envisioned campus would feature branded homes and retail stores selling Yecosystem-branded food items and beverages, with plans for expansion across the United States.

Recent reports highlight Kanye West's increased presence in the Middle East, where he has been actively recording his joint album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures, and attending major events such as the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou fight. Notably, he was spotted socializing with Will Smith aboard a first-class Emirates flight from Dubai to Los Angeles.
